As of tonight, it looks like Saturday is potentially a go.

The winds are forecast to be strong southwest, which is perfect for the Lawrencetown slope. Sunday is forecast to be northeast all day - totally unsuitable for sloping.

I am hoping that the rain will hold off on Saturday until later in the day (as one of my forecasts is indicating), allowing us a good part of the day for flying.

Stay tuned for the final call tomorrow!

Just to confirm: The 2018 Slope Fest is a GO for tomorrow, Saturday 18 August!

The forecasts are not in agreement, but the most accurate one I use, the Nav Canada aviation forecast is not calling for any precipitation until at least 3 pm. I therefore suggest that everyone arrive early in case the rain does start sooner, as the south westerlies will be blowing from early morning right through the day.

The New Brunswick gang are arriving to camp out at my place in West Lawrencetown this afternoon. A lunch of hot dogs and sausages will be served at the slope at noon tomorrow, so bring a few coins for donations towards the food and drink.

See you at the slope!!
